LBS 的mba vs MASTER IN FINANCE

Hi Kevinao & icbcbj!

I am seeking for your advise if MiF is suitable for me

My previous W/E: P&G Finance & Big 4 transaction service

My career interest is equity research in ibank or PE/VC, though I know it is very hot nowadays.

别读MiF了,去lbs读个2年的MBA, 中间抓住机会做intern, 既然你去做equity research, 2年当中顺便把CFA考了.

好好努力, 有希望

另: 多说几句, 在美国区和亚洲区,包括欧洲区,经常看到一些自认为是牛人的人, 对问基本问题的朋友出言不逊, 实在不对. 人外有人, 还是低调点好

严重同意读lbs mba的说法.

虽然说MIF学的金融知识比较多一些,但是对于想要转行的朋友来说,一年时间,没有SUMMER INTERN,不是太容易的,尤其是对于原先在亚洲工作的中国学生来说.

看了此贴,受益匪浅.也来问些问题.

kevin,icbc等大牛,麻烦问一下,LBS的MBA和MiF比起来总体来说哪个毕业后的placement更好啊? 毕竟MBA要多读一年而且费用更大呢? 如果前景还没MIF好那多郁闷啊.

有没有牛人先读了MiF,然后工作几年再读MBA的啊? 还是大多数人只会在MiF和MBA里选择一个啊? 虽然读2个这样很牛,但是毕竟时间要用很多了啊,短短的20多岁的青春都用了读书上了,感觉还是经验更重要些吧?

还有,想问下,如果是在GE的金融集团里的analytic group里做analyst,这算不算finance/investment background?

只见过不少在别的地方读完MBA后再来念MiF的。从就业统计上看两个programme出来的区别不大，但要转行的话就来MBA吧，有无实习差别很大，work-life balance也好些。GE Capital算相关经验。

如果是在美国top 10拿了MBA了,还用得着去读LBS的MiF吗? 楼上的说2个项目出来就业差不多,那MBA毕竟多用一年而且费用也大,那优势体现在哪里呢?

小弟本科刚毕业,可能去LSE读个MSOR,以后是工作几年读好MiF再读MBA好还是直接申请TOP MBA呢? 又读金融硕士又读MBA,时间和金钱实在耗得太厉害了.

还有,麻烦牛人回答下,象GE金融集团里当analyst,算是比较好的金融类的工作经验吗?

I would bet that you will get into the programme WITHOUT any problem....if the background info provided is true...

Xiaoyi,Mif or MBA or both, the choice all depends on your career aspiration, which should be based on your experience and personality. As for GE experience, again, it is hard to give a general answer.

There are mifs who already has a top MBA even PhD but they want to change careers either geographically or functionally. Some are sponsored by companies as well.

Major differences between the two programmes: 1.Lots of soft-skills and general mgmt trainings in MBA while Mif course is more quant 2. MBA recruiters are much more diverse in terms of industries and functions. MiFs can be competitive in market and derivative jobs while 1st year MBAs in general are ill-prepared for such positions. 3. Since Mif programme is shorter, candidates are expected to have very clear and focused career plans.

those who has been admitted to MIF, did LBS carry out Bacground checking before send you offer?

sinopolish

Never heard of that. Untill last year, no background check was required.
